I realize I’ve been neglecting this tumblr lately… I even missed posting my all time favorite holiday video/track for xmas. This also happens to be my favorite single in the entire damn radio station I work for, not because I play it often - I generally only play it a couple times a year - but because it is fantastic in oh, so many ways.
I give you - Bing and Bowie <3 ~ Little Drummer Boy/ Peace on Earth

A very kind person called HaloCure sent me the photo of all photos with the comment: “Although he famously hates being associated with the term “Goth”, this photo ticks all the boxes required, and then adds another twenty points for you know, being a photo of Robert Smith himself. Up a tree. Huge props and many thanks to Autumn from PicturesofYou.us for this pic.”
OMG WTF BBQ RBRT SMTH UP A TR(ee)!
Yes, he hates to be called a Goth. But we, in the trade, know that the very Gothest of the Goths do not call themselves a ‘Goth’. I have no doubt that he was sitting in this tree when he wrote ‘A Forest’. I mean, really: “Come closer and see, see into the trees”, see that I’m up a tree that is being hugged by a Goth compatible wife while branches hold my jacket up in weird angles. That’s how the original lyrics could have gone, I believe.
I like how his foot is dangling so you can get a clear view of his boot. I like how he’s looking down at us plebs through the angle between his arm and the tree. Points deducted for daylight but I feel, in the circumstances, that Robert Smith gets bonus points for being so Goth he denies being a Goth.
5 out of 5 - Come closer and see, see Robert Smith up a tree

The Rosebuds ~ The Woods
One of my top singles of 2011, for sure… I love this track on so many levels…
-
The Cure ~ Open
Keeping Disintegration playing in my car the past couple weeks reminded me just how many complex emotions certain songs evoke in me… and how The Cure always somehow applies to my life in some way…
